Decision Point Transitions from Reactive to Predictive

• Asset Performance Management: APM uses historical data to create analytic models that represent normal equipment operation

• NYPA APM will monitor process data from multiple equipment sensors to determine when the asset is approaching non-normal behavior

• The early warning indication can be days, weeks, or months in advance of equipment failure
